What did you notice about the Standards Based Lesson you described?
The SBL that we described is something that could seem boring to many students just because it doesn't really allow for any education based freedoms. People complain about these lessons because they don't understand that each student is tested on the same important information, so they can possibly try and retain as much information as possible.
What are your thoughts about SB Teaching?
It's a highly adhered to method of teaching, it's viewed as a time-tested approach, but we feel like some kids slip through the cracks and get even more discouraged and less likely to pursue a successful life later on when they;re out of school.
How do your group's views/concerns compare with what some teachers are saying about NCLB?
We feel like we agree with what the teachers are saying, and the fact that the government doesn't recognize the spectrum of the students' learning abilities is ridiculous. It's absurd to think that every student, disabilities or not, will learn, and test at the same rate with the same abilities.
How should you prepare to be an effective (and engaging) teacher?
Learn as many interesting games as awe can to make learning fun for the class. also, make testing something that isn't a big fear, but more of just a reality.
